First line
In 1768, Frederick George Mulcaster, a young Scottish planter in East Florida, described to a correspondent the most important attributes of the new British settlement at an early stage in its English-speaking history.
From the rear cover
Joyce Chaplin examines the impact of Enlightenment ideas of progress on the lives and minds of American planters in the colonial Lower South. She focuses particularly on the influence of Scottish notions of progress, tracing the extent to which planters perceived themselves as a modern, improving people.
